Are 2340 and 2400 SAT scorers treated differently?

^Seriously. They’re not treated differently. Adcoms are not as caught up with SAT scores as applicants tend to be. Both scores are very strong, and both scores are just one tiny piece of the whole picture.

Sometimes people will say, “Yeah, but ALL other things being equal …” But that’s silly, too. There would never be a case that ALL other things were “equal,” with the only deciding factor being the difference between one person’s 2340 and another person’s 2400. Adcoms really don’t care. And, no two people’s applications and experiences would ever be entirely “equal.”
